Glynn case. 1t goes back to 1882,
when Dr. McGIynn is declared to have
disobeyed the mandate of Rome against
the, maKing of political speeches by
priests, and when. under correction, he
promised to refrain from further offend
ing, but had to be called to account
again in 1883. He made public state
ment then and a profession of ohedi=
ence, but it became necessary, he
having resumed political speaking, to
remind him again. on August ss21st
last. This was before Henry Georges
name was mentioned for Mayor. To
this note of warning McGlynn did not
reply. Then follows an account of the
5Archbishop's
h INTERVIEW WITH HENRY GEORGE.
Then, under the date of September 30,
the archbishop give the text of note
sent by him to DR.. McGlynn, reminding
him of his promise and lorbidding -nim,
in. positive terms, to attend the Henry
George meeting in Chickering Hall on
the following Friday. To this DR..

The cardinal says, this cablegram was
as great surprise to me as the other.
1 never asked or even limited in any
way that he should go to Rome. When

he Simply said, There is no answer, :"
and as far as known, paid no further
heed to the matter. To this date no
answer seems to have been sent to
Rome asking an extension of time, or
protesting any willingness to comply
with the order. In December, I
wrote to DR.. McGlynn requesting
some reply, when, after waiting four
days longer, ne wrote on December
20, 1886, that he could not go to Rome,
and at the same time reaffirmed his
doctrinal position as follows MY doc

declarations by Dr. McGlynn, and con
tinuing his suspension until further in

as follows: Early in January a most
